The Broken Compact: Blood Rites and Sacred Lies Book Two

He was sent to kill her. He filed a false report instead. Four years ago, Fritz Malvetti received an order from his father: eliminate a woman in Detroit who had been subjected to forced demonic possession. Destroy the evidence. Close the case. Fritz drove seven hours through an ice storm to do it. When he arrived, he found a woman sitting on the floor of her kitchen, and the demon inside her looked out through her eyes, and Fritz said the four words that would unravel a century of perfect obedience: I won't do it. Miriam Roth, a historian who spent four years as a prisoner inside her own body, is now the investigation's most dangerous weapon. She counted. She documented. She remembers everything the demon said and did, including the supply chain it was part of. From a safehouse on Halsted Street, Fritz and Miriam have mapped a trafficking network that moves possessed humans through jurisdictional seams no one was supposed to notice. And the deeper they dig, the closer the trail comes to the Malvetti patriarch's desk.
